Is There A Relationship Between Your Diet And Alzheimer's?

Alzheimer's: Is There A Relationship Between

Cognitive Decline And Your Diet?

There is an old saying "you are what you eat?' Hence, "Is there a relationship between Alzheimer's and your diet?

In a recent article in the Bloomberg News titled New Research:We May Be Looking At Alzheimer's All Wrongthe author of the article suggest that current research on Alzheimer's, both academic and pharmaceutical , is fixated on treating the final stages of Alzheimer's and as a result is placing there focus on a protein called beta amyloid

Conversely, the Mayo Clinicsuggests that research should instead be focused on a substance calledtauproteins. According to some researchers this is the real source of cognitive decline and memory loss. When asked to comment on this divergence Life Choice's CEO Dr. Eldon Dahl, ND said,

"In a simple explanation the tau proteinstabilizes the structure within the nerve cells that the cells need to divide, carry substances, (transport nutrients/food) for support. If this protein becomes abnormal, it will form twisted fibers inside of the nerve cells and destroy them, which causes various neurological diseases by the misfiring of neurons, the electrical impulses become blocked and messages can’t get through.

But we should go deeper to
what causes the tau proteinto form in the first place, prevention is a must. A diet consisting of low saturated fatand
low glycemic index (glycemic index is a measure of how fast a food releases its
sugars into the blood) has been shown to improve mental performance.

Eating a diet containing low saturated fat and
foods with a low glycemic index increases cognitive abilities when compared it
to a diet high in saturated fats and with high glycemic index foods, (again
sugar is the real culprit)"
